AI venture studio · UK law firms
Custom AI for law firms, and the teams who run it.
Ophir Intelligence builds bespoke AI into the workflows SRA regulated firms actually run, across compliance, intake and policy, and ships it to production in weeks rather than quarters. We train the fee earners who use it, so the method outlasts the tools.

How we build
From workflow to production
Scope
We map one high value workflow and define what 'shipped' means.
Build
A working system in your stack, not a slide deck or a prototype.
Ship
In production with your team, with the audit trail your regulator expects.
What we build
AI growth infrastructure for your firm
Beyond our shipped products, we build the infrastructure a firm runs on every day: capture, convert, operate, and for larger builds revenue and intelligence. Deployed into your own environment and owned by you. AI-native in 90 days.
Layer one · Capture
Intake Concierge
Answers every enquiry on every channel within seconds, whatever the hour, and captures the facts a fee earner would have asked for.
The enquiry that arrives at ten past six on a Friday gets a reply before anyone notices it came in.
Training
AI Foundations for Legal Teams
Your people already have AI. One day, leaders and fee earners together, on how to decide what to give it, how to structure the task, and how to tell that an answer is wrong before it reaches a client. The afternoon runs the method on three tasks your team does every week.
One method
Nine steps that still work when the tools change, from deciding whether AI belongs near a task at all to signing it off.
Six failure patterns
Practised on real AI output until your team can spot a fabricated authority or a confident unsupported assertion on sight.
Your own work
The afternoon runs three of your weekly tasks end to end, so people leave having done it rather than having heard about it.
Where to start
Train the team, or build the system
Both routes start with the same call, and we will tell you which one your firm needs.
Start here if
Your people already use AI
Fee earners are using ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot today, with no shared method and no agreed check. The problem is capability, not software. Train the team first, in one day.
AI Foundations for Legal TeamsStart here if
The workflow itself is the bottleneck
Enquiries go unanswered, matter opening is manual, work sits unbilled. No amount of training fixes a process that needs a system. We build it into your stack and ship it to production.
